Description

  The present invention relates to a configuration of a cooling fan for cooling a heat generating component in a heating cooker.

Conventionally, a fan of this type of cooking device does not have a shroud portion having an inner wall with a shape for connecting the blades and smoothly guiding the cooling air from the substantially center of the fan to the substantially outer peripheral direction.

1, 2, 3, and 4 show detailed views of the heating cooker according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

A fan case 6 in which a fan air inlet 7, which is an opening formed so as to face the air intake portion of the centrifugal fan 5, and a fan air outlet 8 for blowing out cooling air sucked from the fan air inlet 7 are formed, and the centrifugal fan 5. And a control board 10 for controlling the output of the heating source 1 provided on the downstream side of the cooling air blown from the fan outlet 8, and the centrifugal fan 5 includes a plurality of blades 11 and , Fan intake 7 is connected to the plurality of blades 11, and the shroud portion 12 is formed with a wall surface for guiding cooling air from the intake portion to the substantially outer circumferential direction in the centrifugal fan 5. And a main plate 13 formed with a wall surface that is connected on the downstream side and that guides air from the intake portion to the substantially outer circumferential direction, and is configured such that the outer diameter of the shroud portion 12 is larger than the outer diameter of the main plate 13.

  About the structure of the heating cooker comprised as mentioned above, the effect | action is demonstrated below.

  A heating cooker using a flame such as a gas as a heating source 1 or an induction heating coil that generates a magnetic field to heat a pan or the like, or a heating cooker that generates Joule heat by passing an electric current through an electrical resistance In this case, the control board 10 that controls the operation of the cooking device is heated by the heat generated by the heating source 1. Further, in the cooking device that heats the pan with the induction heating coil, the induction heating coil and the control board 10 generate heat by the current flowing through the induction heating coil and the circuit of the internal control board 10 and the electric resistance of the circuit. In order to lower the temperature of the induction heating coil and the components on the control board 10 to below the heat-resistant temperature, a forced air-cooling type cooling configuration is required in which the air outside the heating cooker is sucked and the internal components are cooled and then exhausted. Become.

  In the conventional heating cooker, the outer diameter of the cooling fan upstream of the centrifugal fan 5 in the vicinity of the fan inlet 7 and the outer diameter of the centrifugal fan 5 downstream of the cooling air are substantially the same. In the configuration as described above, by increasing the outer diameter of the centrifugal fan 5, the static pressure and the air volume, which are the blowing performance of the centrifugal fan 5, are increased, the rotational speed of the centrifugal fan 5 is decreased, and the same static pressure and the same air volume are obtained. When it is going to implement | achieve the structure which reduces the noise which generate | occur | produces from the centrifugal fan 5 of this, the subject that the outer diameter of the centrifugal fan 5 cannot be enlarged because there is a restriction | limiting of the height direction of a heating cooker, and when an outer diameter is enlarged, a centrifugal fan The problem is that the distance between the wall of the fan case 6 housing the fan 5 and the centrifugal fan 5 is close and the noise increases, and the area of the fan outlet 8 of the centrifugal fan 5 is increased when the outer diameter of the centrifugal fan 5 is increased uniformly. However, there is a problem that the outside diameter of the fan cannot be increased due to the narrowing of the fan, and the cooling efficiency of the internal parts is poor, and the durability may be impaired.

In the present embodiment, since the outer diameter of the shroud portion 12 is larger than the outer diameter of the main plate 13, the static pressure and the air volume, which are the blowing performance of the centrifugal fan 5, can be maximized and the centrifugal fan 5 is generated. Noise can be suppressed, and a heating cooker with high commercial value can be obtained that has high cooling efficiency of internal components and high durability, and has improved cooling efficiency of members near the control board 10 and the heating source 1. Thereby, it can be set as the heating cooker with the high product value which is low in the noise which an apparatus generate | occur | produces, is easy to use, and is rich in reliability.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the ratio of the outer diameter of the shroud portion 12 (dimension a in the drawing) and the outer diameter of the main plate 13 (dimension b in the drawing) is the outer diameter of the shroud portion 12 (dimension a in the drawing): the main plate 13. Is preferably in the range of 1.01: 1.0 to 2.0: 1.0. This range is desirable because the static pressure and air volume can be maximized. The ratio of the inner dimension of the fan case 6 (dimension c in the figure) to the outer diameter of the shroud part 12 (dimension a in the figure) is the inner dimension of the fan case 6 (dimension c in the figure): the outer diameter of the shroud part 12. (Dimension a in the figure) is preferably 1.01: 1.0 to 2.0: 1.0. If it is this range, since the noise can be reduced while maximizing the static pressure and air volume which are the ventilation performance of the centrifugal fan 5, it is desirable.

Further, the fan intake port 7 is not provided in the vicinity of the intake port 3 but is installed at a position different from substantially the same plane, for example, in a substantially vertical plane, thereby forming an intake path from the intake port 3 of the centrifugal fan 5 to the fan intake port 7. By doing so, even if boiled soup or the like, which is a cooked product, is sucked into the intake port 3, it immediately reaches the fan intake port 7, and the centrifugal fan 5 blows off the water droplets by centrifugal force, thereby reducing the possibility of entering the cooker. effective. The substantially vertical plane is preferably a plane in which the angle θ1 in FIG. 4 is 60 to 120 degrees. A heat generating component that needs to be cooled generally exists in this range with respect to the cooling fan. Further, it is desirable that the angle θ2 of the flow of the cooling air is 0 ≦ θ2 <90 degrees. If the course is changed when the cooling air is 90 or more, the flow is not smooth, and the flow rate, which is the blowing performance of the fan, may be reduced. By constituting the cross-sectional shapes of the shroud portion 12 and the main plate 13 obliquely, the centrifugal fan 5 that smoothly guides the flow of cooling air inside the centrifugal fan 5 at less than 90 degrees can be obtained. The same effect can be obtained by using a multi-blade fan (sirocco fan), a turbo fan, a radial fan, or other centrifugal fans as the centrifugal fan 5. The same effect can be obtained not only in the built-in type cooking device incorporated in the kitchen but also in the stationary type cooking device installed on the table. With the configuration as described above, the static pressure and the air volume that are the blowing performance of the centrifugal fan 5 can be maximized, and the noise generated by the centrifugal fan 5 can be suppressed, and the vicinity of the control board 10 and the heating source 1 can be suppressed. It can be set as the cooking appliance with the high commercial value which is rich in durability with the high cooling efficiency of the internal component which raised the cooling efficiency of the member. Thereby, it can be set as the heating cooker with the high product value which is low in the noise which an apparatus generate | occur | produces, is easy to use, and is rich in reliability.
